This is my approach too. Seems the tunings stay put.

    I think the general way stability is taught is backwards:  i.e., =
tune soft=20
    and test with a few hard blow.  For the best stability I think you =
should=20
    tune with hard blows and then test soft where you can hear (or read) =
small=20
    deviations.=20

  I agree with you. I tune rather hard, but hit the note soft when I =
have to listen carefully to a false beat, or get a unison in place. I =
just tune the concert hall piano, and I probably did 10 - 12 "test" =
blows on each string, to make sure the piano will hold for the Rach 3, =
which is what is on the program.=20
